HOW? you cry.

According to Riverhead Local, the driver was attempting a left-hand turn when the car left the road and struck the cable.

β€œIt just happened to stabilise right in the middle of the guy wire,” said Riverhead Fire Department Chief Joe Raynor.

The firefighters use a tow truck to keep the car stable, and a forklift to guide the elderly female driver from the car. Thankfully, she was uninjured in the mishap.
